One of the main reasons PA wants to get a grip on their deer pop. is because in 20 years when PA loses half of its hunters to old age they want to have a pop. that the reduced hunters can work with. Recruitment isn't keeping up with the fallout that is going to happen in the next 20 years. Maybe the PGC should reduce the doe tags for adults but not for 12-18 yr old hunters. Kids aren't going to stay if they aren't allowed to kill any deer. If there is only a 15-20 % success rate for PA buck hunters that means only 1-2 kids out of 10 are going to kill a buck each year and then you don't want them to kill any does. They won't stay in the sport long .
